Dynamo Player with Unnamed Reference Planes

In October Autodesk released Revit update '2017.1'. I posted a few links in a blog post here. With the 2017.1 update came the 'Dynamo Player'. The Dynamo player allows you to run DYN files without having to open them in Dynamo. The interface is easy, simply click 'Play' to run the graph. The player comes pre-configured with a set folder that you can change to any new destination. The player will then list all your DYN files contained in the folder.

Earlier in the year I wrote about what is probably the easiest Dynamo graph, a single node from the archi-lab package. You can read more about it here. The Dynamo Player now lets you clear your unnamed reference planes by just clicking play! I really think this will make integrating graphs into office workflows much easier, especially for those users who were perhaps a little intimidated by opening and using a graph. The player isn't perfect, yet. At the moment it doesn't allow for input, but it is in the pipeline!
